❄️Well, friends, the season is over. Except for dried flower pumpkins, which will be available in the shed until Thanksgiving.
❄️The recent snow storm caught me off guard. A basket of clippers and clipboards under the Upick structure were blanketed with the white stuff.
🌺Call it my subconscious state of mind, leaving those things out, not wanting to call it quits. I turned off the cooler and brought all of the remaining bouquets up to the house and have been enjoying this last glimpse of summer.
🧩And like a tired toddler who finally gives into her nap, I am enjoying the quiet, and used these snowy days to split five crates of dahlia tubers we dug before the storm. I have started a new puzzle, began to clean my very messy house and am looking forward to the fast-approaching holidays.
🌸But…there is still work to be done out there. First priority is to dig the last third of the dahlias still in the ground. BTW Dahlia tubers are looking great so far.
🫖Make yourself a pot of tea and think about what you might want to include in your garden next year. You can reserve tubers now at at 2025 prices and pay when you pick up in the spring. Shop here: https://www.omenacutflowers.com/dahlias Just email me your wish list.
🌱If the weather permits, more annuals should be hauled off to the compost pile and winter rye planted in their place. But at some point, things are left undone once Mother Nature deems it so. And that’s fine. (Marigold does not seem to mind the cold or snow).
🙏I’d like to thank everyone for your support this year and for the last, yes, 29 summers. Can’t believe we start our third decade in 2026!
P.S. dried flower pumpkins for your Thanksgiving table ard in the shed now or messsge me to reserve. Thanks again to the 125 people who have already purchased one.
